@outworldly maniac, the consoles are meant for one purpose that is playing games, while a PC is a general-purpose tool. The games made for the consoles are made so they run fine on the consoles. Rather than the hardware being optimised for the games, the games are optimised for the hardware! (For us PC owners we do the reverse and pay lots of $$s for it too)
So that is why the graphics look great (but if we compare graphics for a game available on both PC and consoles, the PC always looks better).

a bad example of porting console to PC was mercenaries2.

PC is how you use it.Consoles are mainly entertainment centers.movies games masti magic.but there are people who have modded consoles and are running OS on that.

porting is a thing when console games are brought to the PC.control systems are changed and assigned,graphics are adjusted and other supporting systems are handled.Game companies earn a lot more through consoles rather than PC.so one can now see that through comparative analysis consoles have more releases than PC.
